Overview
- The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed this week that it is reviewing investigative packages from the LAPD and the county sheriff about allegations by publicist Jonathan Hay.
- Hay says two incidents took place in 2020 and 2021 and has given investigators graphic accounts that include a masturbation incident involving a shirt and an allegation of forced oral sex.
- Both the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department conducted separate probes and each presented findings to the DA’s office before the review began.
- No state criminal charges have been filed yet, and Combs remains jailed on a 50-month federal sentence for Mann Act–related convictions while his legal team pursues appeals.
- Beyond possible state charges, the matter intersects with active civil disputes involving Hay and CJ Wallace and could lead prosecutors to weigh felony versus misdemeanor options, which carry very different prison terms.
